The Old Corn Meal Question

I always thought I was "Silent Celiac," but I discovered that I'm not as "silent" as I thought...I was just blaming the carbs for the foggy brain and fatigue when it was probably gluten all along! I'm still learning...

 

So, I'm in search of a truly gluten-free cornmeal. Anyone found it? I just ate Aunt Jemima corn meal and I've got foggy brain, fatigue, tiredness, weak muscles, etc. Anyone else get that? I seem to have no GI symptoms, its all brain and energy for me.

Bobs red mill has gluten-free corn meal and gluten-free corn flour (fine ground).  I use those.  I know there are others out there, but due to possible CC, I would definitely pick one up that is labeled gluten-free and tested by the company.

I have read on this site that some people have gotten sick or glutened from Bob's Red Mill gluten-free products. Is this still happening?

I have no problem with Bob's Red Mill.  Sometimes there is confusion whether it's a different ingredient or really reacting to a very small amount (tested under 20 ppm).

No one in my family has ever had a problem with BRM...six of us have been using these products for over five years.

My boys all like the corn bread mix from BRM. We haven't had any noticeable problems over the last couple of years.

I think that the BRM problems come from people with an additional oat sensitivity.  Last I heard they process their gluten free oats in their gluten-free facility.  When I called, they told me that they clean well between runs but there is that slight cc possibility in case of an extreme oat sensitivity.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
